The Screen always has the most interesting films, mostly independent or foreign. The seating is comfortable and screen visibility is never a problem. It's usually not very crowded and parking is convenient. The Screen is my favorite theater in Santa Fe. More

The screen not only shows the films that one hopes to see, they do it in a venue that is comfortable with popcorn that can not be beat. More

A real gem for foreign films and art house flicks. Awesome sound system and the seats are comfortable. The location is a bit hard to find but the visit will be worth it. More

It's a nice place and gives you movies that you won't find in the multi-plexes. But if you are coming from a town/city with movies like these -- I would make it very low priority. Come to Santa Fe from NYC and sit in a dark room? I don't think so. More

I mean it, I can't compliment this theater enough. From the great programming to immaculate projection. Friendly, attractive staff tops it off! I make it a point to see every film they open, even though they are sometimes a little TOO artsy for my taste, they always entertain me and make me think. From romantic comedies to art documentaries.

.....if you like to see a range of films that are not "standard fare" - as well as enjoy transmissions of operas from venues other than the Met in New York. The Screen plays operas from Covent Garden in London and other international locations. Generally, these are delayed by a few days, although last summer there was a live-from-Syracusa (Italy)...

We locals love this gem where you do not have to sit through advertising/loud ridiculous ads for television and so on. Seats are great for short people since they are staggered and healthy options to snack on. More

In Santa Fe one can see more foreign language and indie movies than in several large cities. This theater, run by the film students at the Santa Fe University of Art & Design, shows the best! More
